• Add some chervil to a creamy courgette soup, or sprinkle over courgettes sautéed in olive oil with a bit of lemon zest and a squeeze of juice.

• In autumn, add it to mushrooms sautéed in butter and finished with cream.
• In winter, add it to a celeriac and potato purée.
• Stir some into mayonnaise to go with goujons of fish or chicken.
• Add it to scrambled eggs.
• Make a dip for radishes by stirring together some soft goat’s cheese and yogurt until smooth, and stirring in some chervil, salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle it over roasted fennel.
• Mixed with seasoned breadcrumbs and a little very finely diced shallot, chervil makes a good topping for grilled oysters.
• For an easy potato salad, dress boiled potatoes while they’re still warm with a vinaigrette laced with plenty of chervil.
